ERROR: nrfjprog.ini not found. Please reinstall nrfjprog.

Hi,

I am trying to install the nrf command line tools on linux. After following the installation instruction, I have the error

ERROR: nrfjprog.ini not found. Please reinstall nrfjprog.

If I use the --ini command to specify it, I have the same error with --qspiini and then with dll... So I suppose that the issue that it forgot to set a path somewhere...

 Note that if I extract the folder with nrfjprog anywhere from the zip file and then run the command from that folder, everything works fine (without modifying my $PATH).

I tried to add the alias 

alias nrfjprog="/opt/nrfjprog/nrfjprog"

which worked kindof ok but then I have other errors when trying to use the 'west flash' command from Zephyr.

Is there anything that I do not right in the installation procedure?

Thanks in advance for every answer you have!

(Ubuntu 18/04 - nrf command line tool 10.4.0 for linuw 64 bits)

Hi,

What version of the nRF Command Line Tools did you install, what installation instructions did you follow, and was there any errors or warnings during installation?

Note that adding aliases only work in the current shell session, and so you need to add the alias to the appropriate profile configuration for it to work permanently.

Regards,

I am having the same issue with nRF Command Line Tools v10.4.0 on 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04. After unpacking the tar archive, I run

sudo dpkg -i nRF-Command-Line-Tools_10_4_0_Linux-amd64.deb

There are no errors. To check if the installation worked, I run

$ cd ~
$ nrfjprog --version
ERROR: nrfjprog.ini not found. Please reinstall nrfjprog.

Running nrfjprog from inside /opt/nrfjprog works fine. These are the contents of /opt/nrfjprog:

$ ls /opt/nrfjprog/
DllCommonDefinitions.h          libhighlevelnrfjprog.so             libnrfjprogdll.so  nrfjprog.ini

jlinkarm_unknown_nrfjprogdll.h  libnrfdfudll.so                     nrfjprog.h

Can someone at Nordic confirm that v10.4.0 works on Ubuntu 16.04/18.04?

Hi,

Thank you!

I found an internal reporting from two days ago, that for v10.4.0 there are issues with finding the ini file on GNU/Linux, and the problem seems to be nrfjprog not correctly following symlinks. May be related.

Hi, I also have the 10.4.0 version

That sounds very related
